On the way, although Ji Zhiyuan was a little absent-minded, he still realized that he had misunderstood her from the conversation.
Ji Wuyi was very upset about Wei Ran's exile because it was her fault. She felt that it had ruined his bright future, but she refused to admit it. She was just a child. She was bashful and wanted to make up for it.
Wei Ran refused. The Ninth Princess had always been arrogant. It was a great honor for her to look at others. How could she bring it up? Hence, the atmosphere along the way was very silent and stiff.
The Dragon Emperor Palace was bigger and more illustrious than the Sacred World Palace. The patrolling guards were endless, and the clanking of their armor made the palace seem cold and solemn.
Ji Zhiyuan couldn't help but think of Great Xia. Ever since he ascended to the throne, he had never had the leisure to admire his palace. He thought that everyone's residence was the same, and the only difference was the size. Now that he saw someone else's palace, he deeply understood the meaning it represented.
However, Great Xia was ruined.
Because this silence and the surrounding deathly stillness suddenly harmonized with each other. She paced slowly in this dead silence, as if even the sound of her footsteps had disappeared.
Ji Wuyi suddenly looked back and said, "I heard that the Town of Origin was first a Widow Village?"
Ji Zhiyuan came back to his senses and said, "Yes."
"Oh?" Ji Wuyi said, "What do you think? You took them under your command and built Town of Origin. What do you think? "
"First, I couldn't bear to leave them alone," Ji Zhiyuan said.
"What about now?" Ji Wuyi asked. "I heard that you have a sizable army and slowly became a very powerful force in Giant Deer Territory. So what do you think now? "
"I still feel the same," Ji Zhiyuan said.
"I really envy you," Ji Wuyi said.
"Envy me?" Ji Zhiyuan said.
Ji Wuyi said, "I've been doted on by my father and brother since I was a child. I get whatever I want. I've never experienced the sense of accomplishment that comes from nothing." Although she said it with envy, there was a hint of pride in her words.
Ji Zhiyuan had been with those widows for a long time, so he was not as ignorant as he used to be. He understood the meaning behind Ji Zhiyuan's words, but he just smiled and said nothing.
Arriving outside the Imperial Study, the guard at the door had already received the order. He immediately said politely, "His Majesty has already given his orders. Please come in."
This study was very spacious. Ji Yuyu was sitting in front of a desk made of crystal.
"Imperial Father, I've brought him here." Ji Wuyi walked in and said with a smile, showing a different side of herself.
Ji Yuyu put down the booklet, raised his head, and smiled dotingly. "Alright, Pixie, Father has something important to discuss with them. Aren't you going to support your Brother Crown Prince? Hurry up."
"What are you whispering to me?" Ji Wuyi was a bit dissatisfied, but when she thought of Ji Wuji, she still said, "Humph, I don't want to stay here anymore. You guys talk among yourselves." After saying that, she left.
After she left, Ji Yuyu first looked at Wei Ran, and said with a smile, "You two must have seen a joke. This Duanyang has been spoiled by me. She didn't even greet me when she left. She's like a crazy girl."
"Greetings, Your Majesty." Wei Ran bowed.
"The princess is very frank." Ji Zhiyuan also bowed slightly. To her, this was a very grand etiquette.
Ji Yuyu didn't blame her. He only said, "Li Ku brought a lot of turmoil to the human world. The booklet in my hand said that after the death of the Jing King, the Xuandang Army of Sacrifice was leaderless, so they ran around and did evil, bringing a painful disaster to the people everywhere. These days, I've been dealing with it, so busy that I didn't have time to summon you. Miss Zhiyuan, you won't blame me, right? "
"I won't," Ji Zhiyuan said with a normal expression. She wasn't really summoned here anyways. However, it was already very late. She couldn't really stand, so she asked, "Why did the Emperor summon me here?"
"Speaking of which," Ji Yuyu revealed a kind smile, "you're also surnamed Ji, and you also cultivate the Cave Spirit. Back then, when I found out, I carefully investigated. Several hundred years ago, there was indeed a Ji bloodline that was lost in the Kunlun Mountain Deity Realm. Did you come from Kunlun Mountain? Are your ancestors still safe and sound? "
"They were already here when I woke up. The Cave Spirit was indeed passed down by my ancestors, "Ji Zhiyuan said vaguely.
"Mm, that's very good. We have the same blood flowing in our bodies." Ji Yuyu seemed to be looking at an outstanding junior, his eyes shining with the light of praise. "It is precisely because of the excellence of this bloodline that our Ji Dynasty was created. However, this seniority can no longer be tested. The reason why I called you Miss Zhiyuan is precisely because of this consideration, and not because I'm deliberately distancing myself from you. "
He very quickly went straight to the point. "Starry Night summoned Miss Zhiyuan. There are two things I want to discuss with you."
"Please speak," Ji Zhiyuan said.
"First, what exactly happened that day? I want to know if you know anything." Ji Yuyu's gaze became a bit dignified as he stared at Ji Zhiyuan's face.
"That day?" Ji Zhiyuan's expression was slightly absent-minded. His memory was immediately pulled back to that day.
She saw the raging flames that filled the sky, about to devour Li Ku. The entire time seemed to have stopped.
All of the air froze. Even breathing couldn't be controlled.
She saw the sea of stars flickering and surging before her eyes. The mountains and earth rose and fell continuously before her eyes. Time and space flowed with the memory fragments of the world. They were like pieces of colored glass that burned like flames. What broke out from the ground was a vast dojo. She could practically recognize it immediately.
Then, a person appeared and saved Li Ku from the flames.
That person seemed to intentionally look towards her. His face carried an unfathomable expression that seemed like a smile yet not a smile. "Miss Zhiyuan, can you help me with something?"
"Who are you? Why do you know me?" Ji Zhiyuan said.
That person said with a smile, "I am Zhang Yifeng."
"Zhang Yifeng?" She felt that the name sounded very familiar.
That person said with a smile, "Please help me tell Yan Li that Lihen Heaven is about to rise up. Tell him not to forget the promise he made back then. Otherwise, I will take away something that is most important to him."
"His most important thing?" She was slightly startled.
"The most important thing to him is you, Miss Zhiyuan." That person said.
"Me?" Her heart rose and fell slightly.
That person said with a smile, "Then, I will take my leave." After saying that, the entire vision disappeared. What followed was the astonished expressions of those demons and Ji Yuyu.
"Li Ku disappeared right in front of our eyes." Ji Yuyu seemed very gloomy at this moment. "He has caused too much damage to the land of the empire and even the common people. However, he didn't receive the retribution he deserved. This means that he will appear again in the future and cause even greater damage. Miss Zhiyuan, I hope you can tell me the truth. "
Ji Zhiyuan shook his head and said, "I am also extremely astonished."
Ji Yuyu sighed and said, "If that's the case, then so be it."
"What about the second matter?" Ji Zhiyuan said.
"The second matter is the issue of bloodline." Ji Yuyu recovered his gentleness. "Miss Zhiyuan, you and our Ji Clan, even if we disregard seniority, in the end, you are of the same bloodline and have cultivated the same ultimate art. You have the obligation to contribute to the strengthening and stability of the Ji Dynasty. The reason why I allowed Starting Town to develop is because I hope that you can have enough power to protect yourself outside. "
Wei Ran's brows jumped. She knew that the main topic had come.
"What can I do for you?" Ji Zhiyuan said.
Ji Yuyu's expression became even more peaceful. He said, "There are two reasons as well. First, please ask Miss Zhiyuan to stay in the palace and take on the position of Imperial Star Platform's Left Protector. She will have a minor second rank position and a major first rank salary. She will be responsible for teaching all of the new members of the imperial family how to read and cultivate."
This obviously couldn't be chosen. Wei Ran's gaze became cold.
"What about the second?" Ji Zhiyuan said.
"Second, I will grant you the position of Chang Province's Two Roads Provincial Governor. You will guard Giant Deer for me and guard against the invasion of the Asura Realm." Ji Yuyu said. Chang Province's Two Roads was the old name for Giant Deer Territory. It meant that one road led to the human world and the other led to the Asura Realm.
Wei Ran clenched her fists tightly. She felt her chest was boiling. This Ji Yuyu had previously left Giant Deer Territory in chaos. His lord had racked her brains every day and put in a lot of effort. Now, when there was a little improvement, he openly stretched out his hand to snatch the fruits of his labor. He was truly shameless!
Just as she was about to speak, Ji Zhiyuan raised his hand to stop her. She smiled faintly. "Saint Emperor, why don't you stop beating around the bush and say it concisely. I agree."
"That's good." Ji Yuyu also smiled.
"But …"
"But?"
Ji Zhiyuan said, "But Chang Province's Two Roads will be my territory from now on. I will not let Shuntian or Dragon-Monarch Manors enter. I won't be a Provincial Governor either. Since Chang Province is my territory, I will be Chang Province's King from now on. "
If Shuntian and Dragon-Monarch Manors didn't enter, then what was the point? Moreover, she dared to proclaim herself King. She was simply lawless. These two sentences caused Ji Yuyu's expression to change greatly.
However, she added another sentence indifferently, "Chang Province's King only cares about the Asura Realm. He will listen to orders but not orders!" She turned around and left.
"You have guts!" Ji Yuyu's eyes revealed an ominous glint. Two shadows shot out from the side of the throne towards Ji Zhiyuan.
Wei Ran was delighted. She moved to block them and shouted, "Saint Emperor, leave me some dignity!"
"Wei Ran! How did we treat you in the past? Ji Yuyu became even more furious. He moved to the side of the palace but didn't lose face.
Wei Ran bowed and said, "Saint Emperor, the past is in the past. When I came, teacher told me that if lord lost even a single hair, he would become the second Li Ku. "
"The second Li Ku, he actually said this?" Ji Yuyu was extremely shocked. His face became a bit pale, suddenly feeling a bit powerless. "He watched us grow up bit by bit, yet he actually said this! … "
"Your Majesty!" A thousand soldiers had already rushed outside the Imperial Study, blocking Ji Zhiyuan's path. Once he gave the order, the two of them would be chopped into minced meat.
"Let them go. You can leave." Ji Yuyu waved his hand expressionlessly. At the same time, a deep exhaustion appeared between his brows.
When Wei Ran saw this, she felt a bit guilty. However, she quickly realized that he might not be doing this on purpose for her to see. Wasn't this his usual method? Moreover, their ideals didn't match, so there was no point in saying anything else. When she thought of this, she set her resolution and walked out.
At the same time, Yan Li brought Huang Shaoyu alone, standing at the entrance of Celestial World.
